Downtown Sydney’s Chippendale is fast becoming a culturally rich destination with galleries and eateries, not to mention the wonderful development by Frasers Property Australia on the old Carlton United Brewery Site. The theme of the prize Utopia takes it inspiration from our shared vision to develop a precinct deeply embedded in the arts and bouyant with life and activity. As such we wish for you to wander the lane ways, enjoy strolling through the Chippendale Green and discover the nooks a crannies and delight in all that Chippendale has on offer.
